Kentucky House Spends Thousands On Renovation While Discussing State Shortfall
It seems there's more than slots and the state budget shortfall causing a stir at Kentucky's Capitol. Under a project authorized by House Speaker Greg Stumbo, the Kentucky House is spending $230,000 to renovate new office space for lawmakers. The renovation involves rebuilding, rewiring and adding new carpet to approximately 4,100 sq. ft. on the third floor of the Capitol Annex, and that figure doesn't include the cost for furniture and electronics. Other occupants of the building have been forced to move elsewhere in Frankfort, costing $408,000 a year in rent to private landlords.
